The school Fund.

In the distribution of the surplus In
the United States Treasury in 1887, Tenn.
essee received over one million dollars
which were TO be used exclusively as 4
reserve school fund, and expended solely
for educational purposes. This fund
was gradually dlssipated, until in 1870 1t
was found that not a dollar remained,
and the only revenue for the support of
the schools was by direct taxation, and
this was largely inadequate. The gem
cral assembly Of that year thercupon
passed an act creating an imaginary
school fund and authorizing the appro-
priatlon annually of a sum equal to Q per
cent. interest on So, 500, 600. This
amounts 10 about $3.50, 900 yearly, and is
paid out Of the general fund in the treas.

State Comptroller apportions this money
